SWEET GIRL VOTERS.

A Conversation of the Future Days of Fe-
male Suffrage.
When the right of suffrage is finally
given to women and they both vote and
hold office, we may expect to hear
candidates for office sized up in the fol-
lowing scathing manner by women at
the polls:
"Who are you going to vote for.
Bessie?"
ooh, I really don't know. But don't
you think it's just perfectly lovely for
us to have the right to vote at all?''
"Oh, it's too awfully jolly tor any
thing. But do you know I was just
worried to death for fear Madame Fit
tenn wouldn't have my dress done in
time for election day."
..But she did, I see, and it's just
lovely. Twas worried awfully over my
election bonnet, but it came at the last
moment or I wouldn't have come near
the polls. Are you going to vote for
Mamie Berkeley for city treasurer"
..No, Tn not; we've been out for a
long time, and I think She S just horrid. !"
II think so, too; she dresses away
beyond her means now, and there'd be
no living in the same town with her if
she was city treasurer. What do you
think of Mrs. st. John for mayor?"
ooh, I think she'd be lovely. She
has such a queenly manner and dresses
in such perfect taste; but most of the
girls are voting for Howard Percy for
mayor; he's so handsome, you know"
.'Oh, yes; but then he's so conceited
and such dreadful flirt. He's engaged
himself to half the girls in town just to
secure their votes. -
..The mean, horrid thing!'
"What do you think of Mrs. Ranter
for Congress?"
II think she'd better stay at home
and look after her children. There's
six or seven of them running around
here now peddling out her tickets. Do
tell me, jamie, are my frizzes all COM
ing out?''
mo, they look nicely. How are
mine!'
"Lovely! Your hair does friz so
beautifully. Look at Mr.. Meek cleo
tioneering for his wife for representa-
tive. They say if she's elected she's
gong to leave her six weeks old baby
home with him while she goes to the
capital for the legislative session."
t.Think of it! And won't she dress,
though. I'd vote for Hugh Vaudeville,
but they say he's engaged to Helen
Smythe, and can't endure her. She's
around here somewhere trying to get
the other girls to vote for Hugh
81 call that cheeky. But I sha'n't t
vote for him. Margie Montague is my
candidate. She's going to invite me to
Washington if she's elected. =

and fasten firmly with mucilage to
piece of thin cardboard; decorate with
the brush or arrange pressed autumn
leaves and ferns upon it in any way
desired. Pretty frames for pictures of
this kind are made by cutting from
thin, unplaned boards pieces the size
desired, and glue together. At each
corner, OF, if the frames are large, at
equal distances apart, arrange groups
of tiny acorns in their cups and glue
firmly to the frames, and gild the
whole. The unplaned wood when
gilded gives the appearance of rough
gilt. Cornucopias are nice made OF
bark bound with ribbon decorated
with autumn leaves and ferns and filled
with dried grasses. Place at the points
pretty bows of ribbon, to the ends of
which attach tiny gilded acorns in
,, their cups. Another pretty receptacle
for dried grasses is a round box any
depth and width desired, covered with
bark, ornamented in front a little
above half way with bunch of pine
or hemlock burrs glued on firmly, var
ished or bronzed, or both. At the bot
tom of the bunch is fastened broad
satin ribbon. The width of the ribbon
depends upon the size of the box. A
pretty ornament for the front of this
box instead of the burrs is a small
bunch of dried grasses tied: with bow
of ribbon. The burrs at the ends of
the ribbon may be fastened by small
brass-headed tacks. These are only a
few of the things for which birch bark
can be used, and as it serves the purpose
of perforated cardboard, the making of
one article will suggest the making of
another.-B0st0a Budget.

USES FOR BIRCH BARK.

,ome of the Really Charming Things
That Ladies Can Make from 1t.
There are so many pretty things can
be made from birch bark that it is
strange it is not more popular for dec
pration. The gray birch bark is some
times used, but it is not as nice in any
way as the white. Most people who
have spent any time in the country
know how to remove the bark from
the tree, but for those who do not
know it is a very easy thing to do it
che directions are followed. Select a
half-grown tree, as from too young a
tree the bark does not peel as easily,
and the layers are hard to divide, and
too old tree is usually so knotty that
it is almost impossible to get a smooth
piece of any size, for the bark will tear
In being removed from the tree where
there are knots. After selecting your
tree, with sharp pen-knife make a
perpendicular slit, any length you
wish, taking care there are no knots in
the piece you wish to remove, loosen
ing one side at top and bottom, and if
large piece it is we'll to loosen little
along the entire length, as very large
pieces are liable to split in the center
If not loosened. Take firm hold OF
top and bottom, and with very little
exertion on your part the piece can be
removed, leaving a broad, bare circle
around the trunk or limb of the tree.
The work of dividing the layers should
be done as soon after removal from the
tree as convenient, as the longer it is
let remain without being separated
the harder it will be to accomplish, and
the LAYERS will not be as smooth and nice
as if separated earlier. These layers
are of very pretty shades, being pure
white, cream-yellow, and some deli
cate shades of pink, and make very
nice ornamental and useful articles Of
decoration.
Many people while away for the sea-
son are fond of using smooth sheets of
bark for note paper, sending them to
their friends as souvenirs of their sum-
mer in the country. Envelopes are al
80 made of it, using paper ones for
patterns, and are very unique. A
pretty whisk-broom holder is made by
cutting out of cardboard two pieces
the shape of the broom, cover with
smooth pieces Of bark, and on one
side in each corner paste a group of
tiny ferns and in the center bunch
of pressed autumn leaves and ferns.
sew or glue together, and bind with
some bright shade of ribbon. At each
upper corner place bow of the ribbon.
Sew small brass ring to the center Of
the back piece next the wall, and sus-
pend the holder by loop of ribbon, with
pretty bow dropping over the nail from
which it hangs. Line with any ma
terial you like. a spool box is made
